Lecturers who find voice-over for PowerPoint Lecture slides useful may also use Collaborate to prepare, record & deliver a pre-recorded lecture as an alternative to PowerPoint with voice. Do regular housekeeping to ensure announcements, staff information and teaching & learning materials posted on MeL(Blackboard) are up to date.

Slide #4
Guidelines on DON’Ts during BCR-Learning
DO NOT conduct any online quiz or online assessment that counts toward a final mark. The online quiz or survey should only be used for student’s self-learning or for gathering feedback from them. Other than real-time virtual classroom delivery on Collaborate, DO NOT conduct sessions where large numbers of students are required to concurrently access any one particular asynchronous tool available in MeL (Blackboard) (e.g. having all your lecture cohort of 100 or more access the blog tool at a particular scheduled time). This may cause unnecessary bottlenecks in the network and server systems.

Guidelines on DON’Ts during BCR-Learning
Example: Requiring the entire lecture group of 150 students to log in and blog or contribute on the discussion forum or undertake a survey on Monday from 10:00 to 10:30 am. This could affect the accessibility of Internet-based campus services. It is advisable that you spread the BCR-Learning activities throughout the day or the week. Do not keep any announcement that is out-dated or which is no longer valid.
